Developing Intercultural Communicative Competence through International Internship Program——An Experience from AIESEC Inspirator Summer Program Abstract It is commonly believed that nowadays the world has become a global village。 Intercultural communicative competence (ICC), the ability to communicate with people effectively in an intercultural situation, has also been recognized as soft skills in a globalized world。 However, intercultural communicative competence cannot be developed automatically even in a multinational working environment where stereotypes may replace deeper understanding。 Therefore systematic training is essential。 This paper examines an AIESEC voluntary project whose primary goal is to foster the development of volunteering participants’ intercultural communicative competence。 In this paper, intercultural behavioral assessment indices (IBAI) has been used as a tool to assess how workshops and effective reflection facilitate volunteers’ exploring new culture, learning to appreciate the persity of culture and cooperate with each other。 It is concluded that through AIESEC program, the participants have become globally competent citizens, being sensitive to different cultures and confidently facing culture shock。 71973

跨文化交际能力在国际实习项目中的发展以AIESEC暑期实习项目为例
摘 要人们普遍认为,时下世界已经成为一个地球村。在跨国公司工作或参与国际交流项目已经显得十分普遍。因此,跨文化交际能力,这被认为是与来自不同文化背景的人有效沟通的能力,已逐渐被看做全球化浪潮中重要的软技能。但是,即使在国际化的工作环境中,跨文化交际能力也不能自动得到提高,成见更可能取代人们深入了解的意愿。因此,对于跨文化能力系统的培训是必不可少的。本文以AIESEC国际志愿者实习项目为案例,探讨此项目如何促进大学生志愿者的跨文化交际能力。AIESEC组织对志愿者的系统培训,不仅帮助志愿者们迅速适应新环境,更显著提高了他们的跨文化交际能力。本文使用跨文化行为评估指标(IBAI)作为一个评估工具,分析了AIESEC的培训内容如何在帮助志愿者熟悉新的文化,学习欣赏文化的多样性和相互合作中起到巨大作用。通过对跨文化交际能力的训练,志愿者提高了文化敏感度,自信地面对文化冲击,对成为一名世界公民充满信心。
